Just Another Right-Wing Extremist With A 'White Privilege' Card

Activism 2/01/21 12:16 pm Read time: 5 minutes comments

Ian Rogers, suspected pipe bomb maker, is a product of the Trump movement, but he's also a product of a generalized right-wing paranoia that existed in America long before Trump ran.
By Steve M.



He seems nice:

SACRAMENTO — A suspected far-right extremist and radicalized supporter of former President Trump facing federal explosives charges may have been targeting California Gov. Gavin Newsom and the San Francisco Bay Area headquarters of social media giants Twitter and Facebook, according to the FBI.

Federal prosecutors charged Ian Benjamin Rogers, 43, of Napa County, with possessing five homemade pipe bombs that investigators found when they searched his home and auto repair business Jan. 15. They also confiscated additional bomb-making material along with 49 firearms and thousands of rounds of ammunition.

According to an FBI affidavit, Rogers made multiple threats in text messages to attack Democratic targets and ensure that Trump stayed in office.

There are a lot of folks that know how to throw together a pipe bomb. You can find bombmaking tips online or in book stores near you.
You can even buy a government publication on "Improvised Explosives." I just checked, you can download it for free....

Building and creating is expensive and time consuming, destruction is fast and cheap.

His Mama said he was just a good boy who liked playing with bombs. I think she actually referred to them as fireworks bought out of state. He want be turning any wrenches in the family repair shop for a while. I hate it for him.
